Just replaced the Coolant Temp. Sensor and spark plugs on my 96.
I used the platinum NGK PFR5G-11 plugs.
I didn't gap the plugs, I just checked that they were all the same out of the box.
The 96 Maxima owners manual does not specify a gap for these plugs.
The car is running fine.
Is there a specific gap that these platinum plugs should be set at for the Maxima?

 

I don't think that plat's need to be gapped, as said on the vqpower write up, only copper's do.

 

The gap is .44
They come pre-gapped right out of the box but you should still check them to be sure.

 

Yes there is a specific gap and, as mentioned, they come pre-gapped if you buy them from nissan (presumably they wouldn't if you got them somewhere else...?). I didn't have a gapper when I did my plugs 20k miles ago and all is well. So basicall you're fine!

 

You should be fine but it is always smart to check just in case.
